Chang La, Ladkah, India (3rd highest mountain pass in the world)

---

The Chang La (elevation 5,360 m or 17,590 ft) is a high mountain pass in Ladakh, India.[1][2] It is claimed to be the third highest motorable road in the world. Chang La is approached from Leh via Kharu and Sekti village by an asphalt road. The climb is very steep and requires a careful drive. The stretch of 10-15 km road on either side from Chang la is loose dirt and the summer months specifically the tourist season, small streams appear across the road, making the climb a challenge for the bikers. The descent from Chang La towards Tangtse or Darbuk is again very steep.
